The US and China are looking into big boxes full of missiles to give their navies new firepower

• The war in Ukraine has militaries worried about keeping their arsenals full in a conflict.
• Navies are also thinking about how to increase the number of missiles aboard their ships.
• The US and China are looking into containers of missiles to put on warships and other vessels.

Call them prepackaged missiles or missiles-in-a-box, but containerized missile launchers, which can be fitted to most any commercial or military vessel, have the potential to revolutionize naval warfare.
